Physical synthesis and characterization of activated carbon from date seeds for CO2 capture

In this study, we report the use of activated carbon synthesized from the seeds of popular local date fruits in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) as potential sorbents for carbon dioxide (CO2) adsorption applications. Activated carbons were prepared by physical methods involving furnace pyrolysis and followed by activation under CO2 atmosphere in the temperature range 600–900 °C. The evaluation of adsorption capacity of the activated carbon was...
